Damp Problems in Oranjezicht Homes

Damp is a meaningful challenge in Oranjezicht. The suburb's mountain slope position creates specific damp risks not found in flatter Cape Town suburbs. Mountain runoff after heavy rain saturates the slope and drives water through retaining walls and lower elevations. The south-easterly drives rain against south-facing walls with significant force. Older construction without effective damp proof courses is common. Understanding the type of damp before any treatment is essential. Rising damp travels up through walls from groundwater. Penetrating damp enters through cracks or poor waterproofing. Mountain runoff needs drainage solutions, not just internal waterproofing. Never paint over active damp. See our wall preparation guide.
